It is marked by sudden changes that occur over relatively short periods of time. But aging itself does not begin around fifty, as we once believed\u2014it starts much earlier. When exactly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s what Chinese scientists set out to determine. They analyzed 516 tissue samples from 76 organ donors aged 14 to 68. All had died from traumatic brain injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers studied tissue from the body\u2019s most important biological systems, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the endocrine system,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the cardiovascular system,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the immune system,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the digestive system,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and the skin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The analysis revealed that the number of proteins &#8211; 48 types linked to various diseases &#8211; increased significantly with age. These included proteins associated with cardiovascular disease, cancer, liver steatosis, and tissue fibrosis. Still, not every organ ages at the same rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first signs of aging appeared in participants around the age of 30. This was due to protein-level changes in the adrenal glands, which play a central role in hormone production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><strong>You might like to read<\/strong>:<\/em><\/strong>  <a href=\"https:\/\/holistic.news\/en\/remote-surgery-makes-history-polands-medical-breakthrough\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Poland\u2019s First Remote Surgery: A Medical Breakthrough<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Human Aging Process Accelerates Around Fifty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A sharp acceleration of aging was observed in participants between the ages of 45 and 55. The culprit: protein expression, which rose dramatically across many organ systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most significant and concerning changes were found in the aorta, the body\u2019s main artery responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The aorta, it turns out, ages the fastest.

This was confirmed in another experiment in which the researchers injected GAS6 into young mice and monitored their aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results were unanimous: the mice displayed classic signs of aging, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>visible vascular damage,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>impaired balance,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and weakened grip strength.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBlood vessels appear to act as a channel carrying molecules that promote aging throughout the body,\u201d explained Guanghui Liu of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in an interview with <em><a href=\"https:\/\/biz.chosun.com\/en\/en-science\/2025\/07\/28\/TCTKZGXAL5D4ZNKH5LUJPUHQNU\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Chosun Daily<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite these findings, the scientists emphasize that further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms at play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read the original article:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/holistic.news\/proces-starzenia-sie-czlowieka-zaczyna-sie-szybciej-niz-myslisz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Staro\u015b\u0107 zaczyna si\u0119 po\u00a030. roku \u017cycia.
